Ecological studies on ticks are an essential part of epidemiological investigations on arbovirus infections. The paper deals with the distribution, bionomy, trophic relationships and rearing of ticks in the laboratory and refers to the role of Ixodes ricinus ticks as vectors of the tick-borne encephalitis virus. The ticks that are common to the region are I. ricinus, I. hexagonus, I. trianguliceps, Haemaphysalis concinna, H. punctata, H. inermis and Dermacentor marginatus. I. ricinus, which is very widely distributed, is the principal vector of tick-borne encephalitis. The hosts, both mammals and birds, of the different stages (larvae, nymphs and adults) of the ticks are listed.
蜱类的生态学研究是虫媒病毒感染流行病学调查的重要组成部分。本文论述了蜱类在该地区的分布、生物学特性、营养关系以及实验室饲养情况，并提及蓖麻硬蜱作为蜱传脑炎病毒传播媒介的作用。该地区常见的蜱类有蓖麻硬蜱、六边形硬蜱、三角硬蜱、康氏血蜱、微小牛蜱、无盾血蜱和边缘革蜱。分布极为广泛的蓖麻硬蜱是蜱传脑炎的主要传播媒介。文中列出了蜱类不同发育阶段（幼虫、若虫和成虫）的宿主，包括哺乳动物和鸟类。
